THE CRY OF THE wRONGED.
BY ELLA DARE.

In the dark street, at night, an outcast alone,
Robbed of all friends, aud shelter, and ho-Ne,
EMBODIED by shame, in its e-clinging SIN nd,
From the grave of my sin, no deep cry aloud,
For mercy, or pity can reach to the ear
OF those that are pure, as they pass by so near.
Though walk the same earth, and breathe the
same air.
The deepest of CULTS is dividing us there
There's river of darkness flowing between,
Spawned by no bridge that ever was seen,
Save the one that our Saviour crossed, when he
cried,
"Let him cast the stone that no good hath de6ed.
But brief time ago, and my soul was as white,
AS the lily browed maiden you're guarding to-
night
And hopes of the future, I'd built up as high
As the brightness of stars that shine in her sky.
tremble and shudder, when think how fell,
Through my love and its heaven, to the horrors
of hell!
To-day have seen, arrayed in his pr de,
With q beauteous being close by his side,
Him, who through power, and pretense and song
Has wrought in my life this most cruel wrong,
And sent up to God piteous prayer,
That the shame that suffer, he also may share
That go men and good women, all over the
land,
Shall refuse when he profers his dissolute hand
That the brand of his sin he shall feel in full
force,
And wander an outcast like me, on his course,
Bearing his burden from place unto place,
With its lines and its letters burr ed into his
On him as on me fall the blow from the rod.
But this do ask, in the justice of God.

The Baby King or Spain.
From the London Graphic.


The baby king OF Spain is q fine,
handsome child, who enjoys robust
health and does credit to the immense
amount OF care with which he is sur
rounded. Though court etiquette re.
quires that the 6-months-old AIphon-
so XIII. should be treated with the
most rigid ceremony, his mother will
never call him 'the king" unless on
very strict occasions. but uses the
SIMPLE term of my child" His
majesty has his own vast suite of
apartments next to those of the queen
regent; and a special guard keeps his
bedroom door at night. His foster
mother, the sturdy peasant Ray
munda, feeds and amuses the baby,
but he is washed and dressed accord
ing to traditional ceremony by bevy
of ladies of honor under the direction
of his ''governess," who held the same
Office toward his father. Doctors Wis.,
it the baby twice daily, and every day
he drives out with lis governess and
Raymunda, sometimes with the queen.
In court ceremonies Raymunda must
not carry the king; that is the duty
OF the mistress of the robes or of his
aunt, the Infanta Isabella. Queen
Christina is q most devoted mother,
spending all her spare time with her
boy, and the Infanta Isabella is equal
ly attached to her nephew.

SherbeG.
From Belgravia

from BolgraVla. ~
The beverage in Persia is sherbet,
which is plentifully supplied, and of
which there are many varieties
from the bowl of water with squeeze
of lemon to the clear concentrated
juice of any sort of fruit to which
water is added to dilute III. Prepar-
ing sherbet, which is done with the
greatest care, is q very. Important
point in SO thirsty q country as Persia
and one upon which much time is de-
voted. It may be either. expressed
from the juice of fruit freshly gathered
or from the preserved extract of po.ne-
granates, cherries or lemons, mixed
with sugar and submitted to acertair
degree of heat to preserveit for winter
consumption. Another sherbet is
much drank, which I must not omit
to mention, called guzangebLen 10 ade
from the honey OF the tamerisk tree.
This honey is not the work of the bee,
but the produce of small insect or
worm living in vast numbers under
the leaves of the shrub. During the
months of August and September the
insect is collected and the honey pre-
served. When used for sherbet it is
mixed with vinegar, and although not
so delicious as that made from fruit,
it makes an excellent temperance bev-
erage. Only among the rich and
fashionable are glasses used; in all
other classes sherbet is served in Chi
ma bowls, and drank from deep wood.

And she did work early and late,
spite of Solomon's entreaties, refusing
to accept anything but her wages, de-
cliuing to receive his visits, sending
back his gifts, steadily refusing above
all to become his wife, though she had
softened wonderfully toward him.
"You are rich, am poor! |" she said

Solomon sat in his Office gloomily
brooding over his ruin, gloomily think
ing of the woman whose love he mad
so long and frultlessly striven to win,
darby wondering ii it were not better
to cut short an aimless, hopeless,
blighted life. In the little drawer on
the right lay brace of pistols, pres
ent from young Makem when he went
to California. Solomon took them
out; they were loaded, it was but to
raise them SO, adjust the trigger so,
and
Lady wants to see you, SIR"
Cant see her, sir. What can g.
woman want here? Shut the door;
if any one calls, say am out ?"
Once more he took up the pistol, but
this time it dropped from his nerve
less hand, for q pair of arms were
around his neck, and two clear gray
eyes looked lovingly in his, while the
voice that was sweetest to him whis-
pered softly:
when you were rich rejected you.
Now that you are poor / come to ask
If you will take me?"
And Solomon, like sensible man,
put up the pistols, and took the
'calico frock' instead.-New York

Neglected Fields.

There are on every farm some parts
that have always received less manure
and less care every way than has been
given to the farm generally. They fre-
quently comprise the fields remote
from the barnyard, and to which for
this reason it is difficult to draw ma
nure. The timefo for this work is gener-
ally limited, and the amount drawn
in a day when the distance is doubled
is so reduced that the work is stopped,
and blowing and seeding takes the
time OF teams and men. The result is
that despite the most strenuous eff.
forts fields remote from the barnyard
never get as much manure as those
near by. In some cases the neglected
field is too wet for profitable cropping.
But whatever the cause of neglect, it
is time that it should cease.
Even at low valuation for the land it
locks up too much capital for which
it's owner gets no return. If he lacks
money to make this land productive,
he had better sell it and use it in i'm
proving the land that remains. Some
one is always ready to buy the poor
est land and to pay more for it than
it is worth. In fact, selling the poor,
est of the farm is commonly the very
best thing that can be done with it

Animals With Young.

Farm stock, mares, COWS or ewes,
bearing young will need extra care and
feed from now until their young are
dropped. It is not best that breeding
stock shall be fattened; but their ap-
petite will improve, showing the de-
mand which nature makes for matur-
ing the fetus. The food, however,
should include plenty of flesh and
bone-forming material, and less of
that whose only use is to fatten.
